POSTPRANDIAL BLOOD SUGAR(GLUCOSE)

The postprandial blood sugar (glucose) test measures the level of glucose in the blood after a meal. This test is used to diagnose and monitor diabetes and assess glucose metabolism. Elevated postprandial blood glucose levels (hyperglycemia) indicate impaired glucose metabolism, suggesting diabetes or prediabetes. The test is valuable for assessing blood sugar control, guiding treatment decisions, and monitoring the effectiveness of diabetes management strategies. It provides important information for maintaining optimal blood sugar levels and preventing complications associated with diabetes.
